Chapter 1: Stranded

"Yoh! I'm going out, make sure you've tidied this place once I get back!" the Itako ordered as she took hold of her red bandana and tied it around her head.

"Anna, where are you going?" the shaman asked only to receive a death glare from his fiancée

"That is none of your concern! Oh and since your little friends are coming --"

"Huh? You mean Manta and the others?" Yoh cut her off

"Who else?" she sneered "Make sure you prepare edible food by then and my house still better be in one piece when I return or ELSE!?" the Itako threatened

"Ye-Yes ma'am" Yoh gave her one of her sloppy grins as she simply arched a brow "Anna?" he mumbled again as she glanced back at him.

"Take care okay!"

"I can handle myself perfectly, thank you very much!" she replied showing a hint of sarcasm.

"I know, but even so!" Yoh pouted, as Anna turned her back at him and walked away, a small smile finding its way in her stoic face.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

Anna strolled alone as she passed different kinds stores. She entered a few of them once in a while to buy a few of her necessities as well as some household accessories. Surely it wasn't her type to bother about these things but she wanted a getaway, at least even just for now.

"Lets see, I think I've gotten all that I needed." The Itako mumbled to herself as she glanced at the plastic bag she was holding. It contained a few newly purchased garments, some home accessories and some meat buns as a take home present for Yoh who was stuck at home with a great deal of chores, it the least she could do...

After a while of walking she had then realized that it had gone dark "Just my luck" the Itako muttered as she felt rain droplets starting to pour down from the sky. She grimaced as the downpour became stronger. "A storm? How wonderful!" she whispered to herself as she decided for the best and ran down town to a small inn.

"I bet Yoh is dancing in joy, knowing that I'm stranded here, out in the rain." The Itako though as she walked complacently towards the inn, though she had been completely soaked, her hair, her clothes, but she couldn't care less.

She walked inside the inn, as an old woman rushed towards her and assisted her. "Oh my! You are soaking wet please take a sit while I get you a towel miss" she said with concern as Anna smiled as a small gesture, even if it was one of the rarest things she ever does.

The old woman handed Anna a towel as she gladly accepted. "I'm sorry" the Itako muttered, "I guess I mudded your floors a bit"

"Not to worry, are you here to stay?" the woman said, smiling assumingly as Anna nodded

"Unfortunately because of this sudden change of weather, all rooms are taken" she explained

"That's fine, I can stay here until the weather calms down" the Itako replied in her normal cool

"That would be fine, but I highly doubt that this weather would get any better anytime soon?"

"Oh. (By the time this weather calms down, my house is probably in ruins especially with Yoh, Ren, and that Ainu around. Besides what can I do, all rooms are taken so I might as well walk home)" she thought as she stood up and started to walk towards the entrance

"There is no need to rush down Kyouyama-san, we can share one room if you want" a distinctively familiar voice said as the Itako looked at the stranger with widened eyes,

The boy looked exactly like Yoh, only his hair was much longer. He had a stoic face and his lips were curved into an enticing smile. He wore only his pants, as his top was completely bare... Hao Asakura...

"And what may are you doing in place like this?" she asked the intruder coldly

"What about you? What are you doing here?" he grinned as Anna raised a brow

"Isn't it obvious that I'm stranded here!"

"Then you have been answered!"

"Come again?"

"You were asking what I was doing here right and you just answered it yourself." Was the plain reply as Anna blushed. No one really dared to answer her back like that, not ever.

" So would you want to stay with me?" Hao asked innocently

"Why should I?"

"You don't have a much of a choice, so stop being stubborn, Kyouyama-san," the brunette said, still having a smile curved in his lips as he neared the girl. "If you're worrying on me hurting you well I promise I wont"

"Hn, You really think I'll buy that?"

"Umm...not really but it was worth a try. Right? Anyways you'll catch a cold if you stay in those wet, see-through clothes of yours" Hao replied as he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him.

"Wha-what are you doing?!" Anna protested but was cut off as Hao suddenly carried her. He then turned to the old lady in the counter and gave her an innocent smile "Oba-san She can stay with me, until the storm passes"

"Is she an acquaintance to you Asakura-sama?" the woman asked as the brunette grinned,

"Hai, she's my girlfriend!" he replied coolly as Anna had slightly turned red, as she burrowed her finger nails in his arm. She was sure to give him a piece of her mind as soon as they were alone.

"Ah, well I hope you 2 have fun" the old woman cried out as she waved at the disappearing figure of the 2.

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

As soon as they got to a the room Hao, gently brought Anna to her feet

"You didn't have to pinch me that hard Kyouyama-san!" Hao complained and Anna for a moment thought she saw him pout at her.

"Serves you right, for first carrying me without my permission and second calling me your girlfriend when I am most obviously not!" she exclaimed

Hao grinned as he stared at her, pretty much interested but he said nothing.

"What are you looking at?" the Itako reprimanded

"I was just musing on how cute you are when you're angry, Kyouyama-san " was his blunt reply, as Anna turned red in color.

"And even cuter when embarrassed" he continued.

She was starting to doubt if this guy was truly 500 years of age...

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*

Yoh watched the heavy downpour and couldn't help but to feel worried about his fiancée. "Yoh! Don't worry too much about her! Anna's smart enough to find shelter herself!" The Ainu boy said as he popped his head from inside.

"I-I..."

"Yoh! Don't even think about going out to find her" Ren exclaimed, giving him his usual cold glare

"Ren is right, Yoh, besides we haven't have a clue on where she is right now" Pirika added.

"Yoh?" manta mumbled as the pink haired girl, Tamao glanced at him with hurtful eyes.

"I-I....."

"Master Yoh?" Amidamaru whispered glancing at his master.

"I'm going out to find her." Yoh finally said catching everyone's attention

"You crazy!? You won't make it through that storm!" Horo Horo's jaw dropped

"Ts, They say people do crazy thing when they're in love but this is too much!" Ren said coolly as Yoh grinned, and scratched his head ruefully

"I think it's very sweet of Yoh to go find Anna, unlike a couple of blockheads here!" Pirika responded making sure her brother and Ren got her message.

"Well, if Master Yoh's going, I'm coming too!" Tamao stood up

"Hey, don't forget me!" the midget boy exclaimed

"Tamao? Manta?" Yoh muttered

"What about you lazy bums?" Pirika glared at both Ren and Horo Horo

"Its fine if you stay, but can you clean the toilets when you're at it. I kinda forgot to do so this morning" Yoh said sheepishly

"What!? There's no way your making me clean! That's your job" Horo Horo replied

" But Anna--?"

"Fine! Fine! I'm going with you, better that being a maid around here!"

"What about you Ren?"

"Do I have a choice? Besides -"

"Besides Ren has feelings for Anna-san and won't leave her alone in the cold!" Pirika suddenly blurted out as the Chinese boy almost chocked, as he turned deep crimson. The blue haired girl grinning like mad.

"So Ren has been crushing on the Itako! Hahahaha!" The Ainu boy ridiculed

"Shut up you little--!" Ren fumed

"So that's why Ren often passes here!" Tamao smirked

"So you noticed it too Tamao?" Pirika teased as she received a death glare from the Chinese shaman

"Little Ren-ny has a crush on Anna! Hahahaha!" Horo Horo laughed even more as Yoh plainly smirked.

"I do NOT!!! And don't call me such feeble pet names!"

"Anyhow we better find Anna" Yoh informed still in his cool "(I wonder were she is...)"

"Yah! Come on lover boy!" the Ainu teased as Ren chased him around the place,

"(Anna...I hope you're fine)" Yoh though as he ignored the shouting and the continuous rampage of the 2 Shamans.
